Why is Facebook still so insanely popular? - eviltoast

I read “it’s dying” by people on Discord and Reddit all the time, but the numbers prove otherwise. It’s been going up this entire time and sitting over 3 billion MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS!

I feel like the bubble around people on other platforms saying “who uses Facebook anymore lol” is kind of wild given the numbers. Keep in mind these are active users not just abandoned accounts.

    Yes definitely the case, I see the same in the Philippines. Other side of the world I know but similar reality. Countries like these where it dominates adds millions upon millions of users.

      Also from the Philippines and I don’t know anybody else that use Fediverse aside from myself. Heck, nobody haven’t even heard it and only a couple knows about reddit and discord. Literally everybody uses Facebook for everything and facebook messenger for messaging other people.
